hbritt 5 Posted July 10, 2012 My surgery was yesterday. I'm back home and doing well. Taking it slow on the liquids until my stomach can adjust. I was only able to have ice chips yesterday and started back with Clear Liquids today/60cc per hour. I should be able to go back to full liquids tomorrow and continue for two more weeks. The surgery wasn't bad at all. I had a brief bout of nausea yesterday but it was short lived after I was given Zophran. Don't plan on resting after your surgery. Between the vital signs, respiratory therapy treatments, nurse visits (i.e. check on IV, dressings, etc.) and lets don't forget the lab...it seemed like someone was in my room constantly. But the care I received was AWESOME! Good luck to each of you. I hope your experience is as good as mine was. 1 luauna reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CBT 450 Posted July 12, 2012 13 days now!! It's finally getting close!!! I'm grateful to have some pre-op stuff to do next week (labs and a PA-C meeting). This sitting in neutral for two weeks might give me enough time to get nervous. Thankfully I've got a busy life with work and kids and summer fun! life is a journey, not a destination; so, stop running -H.D. THEROUX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
